He can be delicate and he can shred and it’s the combination of those things that I love. He’s also got a voice that manages to convey tone and emotion through words that are often mumbled, and wonderfully so.

My favorite songs tend to be like places I want to visit. And I find myself wanting to go here a lot.

Many fans consider his latest album, “Wakin On A Pretty Daze”, his best yet. It comes out on April 9 but you can hear it streaming as part of KCRW’s Album Preview feature right now.
